Large Scale
Filmmaking Workshops

For Summer
Half Term

We
think our courses, are fun, informative, educational, good value and happen in
a friendly environment. But don’t just take our word for it, listen to what
previous participants say by clicking here and look at the Participant Views.

Changes to our filmmaking workshops

We
have listened to children and adults who have attended our workshops during the
last year and will be making significant changes to our forthcoming courses. It
is now established that Large Scale run filmmaking workshops during half terms
and holidays. However, what is new is the content of the courses will change on
each occasion they are run. We will still be offering basic filmmaking
training, but will be expanding the creative content to allow participants to
develop their interests and skills. Successive versions of each course will be
sufficiently different, to allow budding filmmakers to attend on multiple
occasions, and learn something new on each visit.
